...Individual Reflective Essay
At the foundation of our group for the tutorial presentation there were four members. Myself, Jonathon Kir, Gerald Loh and Qais. We all got along together well and exchanged phone numbers to communicate about the tutorial presentation. After discussing our work schedules we concluded that we would do our presentation on week 11. We also discussed the two case studies and decided on doing case study six ‘the challenges of my first job at ASACURA international’. I suggested we should also communicate with a Facebook group. The Facebook group allowed us to share ideas and upload our individual contributions efficiently.
Similar to numerous organisations in Australia our group was made up of differing dynamics. Part of the challenge to the presentation was the different dynamics and personalities within the group.
From the early stages of the organisational behaviour course I observed that Qais appeared to have personality traits that aligned with the neuroticism trait from the five factor model (Mckshane, 2013 44-45). Qais appeared anxious and seemed self-conscious, due to his lack of contribution to group discussions and shyness towards myself, Jonathon and Gerald. Qais rarely spoke to the group unless asked a question and I felt like it was quite difficult to judge how Quais felt on critical issues relating to the presentation as he did not contribute any alternate ideas, thus I found that I needed to make a greater effort and help Qais by......

...U04a1 Personal Work Group Evaluation
The only group that I have dealt with recently is a softball team. There are about 10 women and it is a woman’s league. The team was added to the league about two years ago. In the group suggestions have been made about the attendance of some of the players which are affecting the team. We encourage each other to be leaders and followers when it comes to the team decisions.
In the group the formal roles are based on the position of the team member. For example, my position would be catcher or outfielder, my role is to not let anyone score at home plate and in the outfield I have to make sure I catch the ball to get the person out. We all communicate when one is going to catch the ball in order to avoid a collision or a mistake to occur.
The coach is the one that puts everything together as far as who plays what position and what to do and not do. He has a team but doesn’t put the effort a coach should in order to make the team successful. There is no practice to sharpen ones skills and therefore the woman who have very little experience playing have a hard time on the field. The only communication is on the field and via mobile device to let one know if the game is on or forfeited. The team wants to be successful but when they observe that the coach really doesn’t care they also give up.
In this group the norm is as expected with many other groups. Everyone gets along and respects others. On the field everyone......

Reflection Paper
I am in the Group 4, they all very kind and gave me a great many of help. This is the second time we get together to do the case. And I found that it is easier than the last time. We just meet after class and allocated the work as last time, it is easier for each person to do the same part what they did before and know how to improve it. We know each other by the first teamwork and this time we don’t need waste time on build a communication line, know each other, or rebuild the trust. It makes the teamwork more effective.
What I learn from this group work is that a team needs some time when individuals challenge themselves and re-evaluate their skills. Team members need to learn how to work well with others and to understand that a person is unique; a person has knowledge and energy that can be channeled in a positive way. We do our own work very well, nobody late or forget to do something and we do almost same weight of work in our team. Also, we have some conflict on some little points, but this conflict makes the paper seems better. In USA, everyone in group talks and shares his or her opinion, sometimes they arguing a lot and from their arguing they can learn a lot. In China, we just follow the leader. The leader makes decision and also takes responsibility to......

...Courtroom Work Group
There are many parts of the courtroom and the process of convicting a criminal. The courtroom work group has a major role in convicting and finalizing a case. In the courtroom work group, there are three groups of people that hold the entire courtroom together. Without the work group, the courtroom would not flow, and coming to a conclusion to the case would not be as easy. The work group is made up of the Judge, the Defense Counsel and the Prosecution. They work together to reach a result, in the case by staying in contact on a daily basis. There are many roles in the work group, and if they are not all followed through with then the results could be different than what they should be. In this paper, we will look at the roles of the prosecutor, how the criminal justice funnel effects the courtroom work group and what will help eliminate the funnel and reduce the backlog of cases.
The Work Group
The courtroom work group is composed of various people who make the court systems work to the best of their ability. Each person has its position, and she/he is responsible for their part. We can start from the top, first we have a Judge, he/she is responsible for imposing the proper judging techniques in the courtroom, and they are to make sure the accused rights are not violated in the courtroom. Then we have a defense attorney, and the defense attorney is to defend his client against any wrongdoing by the court and prove his client is innocent of the......

...reflecting on the effectiveness of working in short term groups who have been brought together in a study environment. My group was formed to work on a presentation where the topic was the way different types of teams communicate. My group consisted of five people: Brendon, Dominic, Bridgette, Kelly and myself. I have worked with everyone in this group before, however not as a group, and was confident that we would make a good team. I have a very dominant personality and tend to take the leadership role in these situations and so I took the lead (Thoms, Moore & Scott 1996), however it was also a collaboration, everyone gave their ideas and all ideas were discussed. I will be exploring the advantages and disadvantages of group work within the University setting based on my own group experiences.
According to (Hodgkinson-Williams, Slay & Siebörger, 2008 and Lave & Wenger, 1991) the use of group work is an increasingly recognised way for students to problem solve and develop transferable skills which are necessary for the workplace. Group work can also help with expanding the student’s emotional intelligence (Landau & Meirovich, 2011). Emotional intelligence is a quality that employers are now looking for more and more in their employees, even to the point where learning about emotional intelligence is part of management training and development.
ADVANTAGES
It is believed that the greatest focus of groups, especially those that have been......

...Autonomous Work Groups
The dynamics of a workforce is ever changing with management, diversity, and the collaboration between management and employees. With all the changes it is important that employees and management, as well, remain motivated. Therefore there must be a workflow design that works well for both management and employees. It must create an alliance, collaboration, a line of trust, decision making, and create a sense of empowerment. Autonomous work groups offer this and so much more. There are pros and cons about autonomous work groups and why they work and do not work, but it is a work design that many companies are beginning to consider based upon research.
The Effectiveness of Autonomous Work Groups
Autonomous work groups, also known as self-managing work teams, are a team of employees granted autonomy or independence over the work they do within an organization (Kokemuller, 2014). This autonomy includes independent decision-making related to a specific work function, project or job and independent freedom to assign individual members specific tasks within the group (Kokemuller, 2014). An autonomous work group (AWG) can hire, fire, and make the necessary decisions for their department. An AWG replaces the role of having a boss and usually someone is elected to stand as leader to help facilitate within the group. What makes AWG effective groups are that they are able to work together toward a common task or project goal. They typically come up with......

...What is a courtroom work group? How does this courtroom work group interact on a daily basis? What changes to the courtroom work group would you recommend? What is the role of the prosecutor? How does a prosecutor determine which cases to pursue? What would happen if the criteria for taking a case were more or less stringent? What are the effects of the criminal justice funnel and the backlog of cases on the court system and the courtroom work group? What are some solutions to help eliminate the funnel and reduce the backlog of cases? Provide examples
One of the effects of the Criminal Justice Funnel System and back log of the cases is that the systems interferes with protection of the dependents rights and causes a longer wait time for the individuals verdict on their case, which cause the dependents to remain a suspect for a longer period of time. The prolonged process generates and continuously adds to the back logs of cases. Which interferes with an effective operating structure in the court system. While the Funnel system decreases the number of incarcerations and court trials which cases money and manpower. The backlogs of cases and delay at the court process also inhibits the Justice System process by helping theses offenders to get away with their cases.
While there is a decrease number of incarcerations, more offenders are being put on probation and are only face with a direct punishment once they either commit an additional crime or violate their current......

...Group work can be a very fun and enjoyable experience however, if you choose the wrong group members to work with, it can be a terrible experience. As a business student at SAIT, a lot of our projects are group based. I’ve experienced both success and failure working in groups. Choosing the right group members is key to doing well. When I first attended SAIT I would choose people who were my friends regardless of their work ethic. This ended up coming back to bite me as our group did poorly as a result of my group members lack of work ethic.
It can be hard choosing the “right” group members, as you typically do not know how people work until you start working on the project. Through trial and error I have found a method to ensure success within the group. The first and most important step is to communicate effectively with group members. Gather every one’s e-mail and phone number so that every will be on the same page. The second step is to create a team charter. The charter will entail expectations and rules that the group will create and agree on. The third is to have weekly meetings with group members. This will allow everyone to stay accountable for their part because their will be weekly check-ins. The fourth and final step is to proof read each other’s work. When you put everyone’s work together and do not bother to take the time to look at what others have written, you run the risk of having multiple errors within the project.
Provided you follow these steps, you......

...What are the indications that conflict may be present in a work group? What are two methods for addressing/resolving such conflicts? Justify your rationale.
I would like to say that people are able to easily pick up on workplace tension when it is constantly in their mists. Per the ETU website, signs of workplace or workgroup conflict can be:
• cliques or factions meeting to discuss issues separately, when they affect the whole organisation
• one group being left out of organising an event which should include everybody
• groups using threatening slogans or symbols to show that their group is right and the others are wrong
• colleagues not speaking to each other or ignoring each other
• contradicting and bad-mouthing one another
• deliberately undermining or not co-operating with each other, to the downfall of the team
The big question though is how to address or resolve these conflicts. Noticing or being on the receiving end of work place conflict is only one side of the situation. Taking action about it can cause further division or at times in extreme cases, causing the group to dissolve. A few suggestions for handling such issues are taken from a blog posted by Pathak. Pathak places emphasis on presenting a “super ordinate goal” to bring pack into perspective the reason the group exists to begin with. “Focusing attention on the higher goals that the groups share or the long-range aims that they have in common tends to make the current......

...Source: The Place of Men in changing family cultures. Geoff Dench (1996).
The following extract comes from a 1950's home economics textbook:
• Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
• Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
• Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.
• Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.
• Minimize all noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be...

Courtroom work group
Across The United States of America and in every State, County and City criminal justice system, a Courtroom Workgroup has a familiar understanding between the prosecutor, defense attorney, and the judge. This concept of criminal justice describes the seemingly confrontational courtroom participants as colleagues serving within the criminal justice system. Eisenstein and Jacob in 1977 studied the interactions of court members at all levels they came up with the courtroom work group. The three individuals have totally different jobs and responsibilities than the other two, they work separately from one another toward their personal goal but work together for a common goal “justice”.
The biggest change I would make in the system would be to add more judges and courts on all levels of the criminal justice system to help with the overload of today's society. With more courts, we would be able to ensure quicker court dates for the accused. This change would free up a lot of money due to people not sitting in jails, and the cost per day per person is around $234.00. Think of how much we could put into programs to help prevent crime with that amount of money saved.
The judge ensures all follows the laws of the court and its procedures in the courtroom. He will address all objections place before the court either overruling or......

...Today website. It was written by Bart Jansen. The article was published on Thursday November 5, 2015.
This article “House Passes 6-Year Bill Funded For 3 Years”, by Bart Jansen, was about The House of Representatives approving a highway bill.0 The legislation provides state and local government a federal commitment. It also sets the rules for planning and building highways, bridges,and transit programs for the next six years. Representatives think that the bill is critical to America and the economy. The highway bill is important and an overdue step forward to ending the cycle of stop-gas renewals. Also to building our future again. “Transportation has a direct impact on our day to day quality of life. It has an affect on how we get to work, how we get our kids home from school, and how much time we can spend with our families and friends instead of sitting in traffic. Transportation allows our country and our businesses be competitive,” Bill Shuster said after the bill was approved.
The three terms I want to connect to my article are House of Representatives,page 252, Senate,page 253, and bill,page 253. In the article I found the term House of Representatives, the term applies because its the larger part of the two bodies of the Congress, who had to approve the bill. The term Senate applies because it's also a body of Congress which had to approve of a similar, earlier bill. The term bill applies because it was the law that stated as a proposal for the highway. House......

...arise for group interaction. Groups are in many ways are an unavoidable part of human life. There are different types of groups that one interacts with throughout his or her life. One of the group types would be “Small Groups”. While it is arguable, many people agree that anywhere from 12 to 13 people may be the maximum size for a small group with a minimum size of three people. The most intersting part of a small group is that there are two types of small groups. The two types of small groups are “Primary” and “Secondary” groups. This article will define the two types of small groups listed above and relate my personal relationship with the two small group types listed in the above sentence.
The Primary small group type is “a group whose main purpose is to give people a way to fulfill their basic need to associate with others”. It is common knowledge that the majority of humans require social interaction in order to maintain mental stability. Two primary groups that I am apart of would be my family and friends. Within these two primary groups, I am able to fulfill my basic need of to associate with others. With my family and friends, I am able to find a level of personal trust and communication that would be difficult to relate with any other social group. My role in the family is father and husband and I provide the majority of the finances for my family. The role I play in my friendships is one of mutual respect and understanding.
The secondary small group is “a group......

...Tuckman’s Model of
Group Development
Forming: in which the group is just coming
together. It is often characterized by shyness,
uncertainty and diffidence among the members,
although extravert members may rapidly assume
some kind of leadership. Maintenance concerns
predominate
Storming: in which, having been established, there
is a period of jockeying for position, authority and
influence among the members. In classes, this is the
period of "testing-out" the teacher. Disagreements
appear or are manufactured and roles are eventually allocated. The initial
leaders may not survive this period: it is the most uncomfortable phase of the
group's life—a sort of group adolescence.
Norming: having sorted out its internal structure, there is then the issue of
what the group stands for. What kind of behavior and contribution is
acceptable and what isn't? Members explore behind the power processes of
storming and begin to form some idea of the group's identity: the "group in
the mind". This is rarely done explicitly, of course, and it can readily slip
back into Storming,
Performing: after all that, the group can begin to get some work done, on the
basis of a relatively stable structure.
Adjourning: This is about completion and disengagement, both from the
tasks and the group members. Individuals will be proud of having achieved
much and glad to have been part of such an enjoyable group. They need to
recognize what they've done, and consciously move on. Some......
